    Shrinking An XL Shirt

    Well I bought a shirt online knowing full well I was ordering an XL. I planned this ahead of time as an experiment kind of lol.
    I aim to shrink the shirt from an Xtra Large to a Medium.
    I plan on doing this through a process of repeatedly washing the shirt in hot water then drying it set to extra hot. As an alternative I have been told that ironing a shirt while it's soaking is a very effective method but may distort the dimensions =/

    The problem here is: I have no idea if the shirt is 100% cotton or not. This means the shirt could not shrink at all and I'll be stuck with likely a Large shirt lol

    Any suggestions?

    P.s.: I didn't think this was worth posting outside spamzilla. Plus, spamzilla gets the most attention now 'a days

    You gotta think outside the box. Is the shirt to big for you, or are you too small for the shirt?


    Think about it, then it's off to McDonalds with you.

    Ahh BUT!! I have two shirts that are of Medium size that I bought along with the Xtra Large shirt. So I can forfeit two shirts or one... I prefer to go with the latter.

    Put it in the wash at double the recommended tempreture. It's ok, it's only advising you. It should then shrink.

    Place your cursor over a corner until it changes to a four-sided arrow. Then, while holding the shift key, click and drag the t-shirt to the desired size. Also note that unless you want to have a block of while behind you, save the t-shirt as a .png.
